    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Let's go with the tougher part - though I didn't even bother looking at paints. Maybe there is a paint that would be better. I just figured that bed liner is generally considered pretty tough stuff and can take dings w/out scratching. It's also possible that one way or another I may remove the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I don't post here much anymore because almost everything I'm doing is a major modification, but this time... So, I plan on building a teeny, tiny home in the back, but thought it would be good to put some spray on (roll-on) bed liner just as a sealer in the event when (not if) water gets under...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Thought I'd post a link to another source for wheels. This place has 2 differnt budd wheel types and 2 different non, all 6 x 8.75.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I have a whole thread on it, in Deuce Mods. It's a commercial wheel/tire set up for the Deuce. They're custom 24.5x8.25 wheels with 11r24.5 tires. They are budd wheels, now and tubeless, though I suppose I could use tubes if I wanted. I bought blank aluminum wheels and took them to a machine...

    New shoes.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    There is no "done", there is only a pause until the next.

    On July 4th? I get attention on Arbor day when I drive my truck around...

    Do the math in your head, it keeps you sharp!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    It really comes in handy. On the driver's side I installed a 2-step boat ladder that collapses, fits under the plate and ties with a piece of velcro. It's really nice not worrying about where my shoes are, or if I need to move them and need to check that I don't step off - it's a long way...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Got my truck back from a mechanic today. Had them do some work that I couldn't do, and some work that I could but was too lazy to get to. I still have plenty of other work that needs doing that I will be doing, so I'm not completely lazy, just occasionally. So, I already installed a bumper...

    The eye is instantly drawn to Mjolnir.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    While this is something I pay attention to on my BMW, on my deuce, not so much - my assumption being the truck appears over-engineered in more than a few places.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yep, that's why I like to give stuff away. Let someone else worry about picking it up. If you have the room, consider storing it for a little while and offering it up for free to someone in the "Pay it forward" section. I always look at how some people are looking to restore these things on a...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Maybe put an addendum identifying the driver like they do on race cars.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Got my truck back from having air lockers installed. While it was there I had them mount a second fuel tank on the driver's side. The lip from the tool box had to be cut flush with the box, and the step into the cab had to be trimmed back as well. This is an 81 gallon tank. Also had an air...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Nice having a vehicle where you just don't have to worry about little dings.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Found them on evil-bay with a quick search, used ones are going for around $70. You don't even want to know what Oshkosh sells them for...$487.20!

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Found 6 for $5.65 on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KXDC4PP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Worked out well for me as I have 3 batteries.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    So...you don't just stuff it in a garbage bag? Next time I take off my cover, I hope to give it away.
